Given below are two statements:
Statement - I: High concentration of strong nucleophilic reagent with secondary alkyl halides which do not have bulky substituents will follow $$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}}{ }^2$$ mechanism.
Statement - II: A secondary alkyl halide when treated with a large excess of ethanol follows $$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}}{ }^1$$ mechanism.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below:
Choose the correct statements about the hydrides of group 15 elements.
A. The stability of the hydrides decreases in the order $$\mathrm{NH}_3>\mathrm{PH}_3>\mathrm{AsH}_3> \mathrm{SbH}_3>\mathrm{BiH}_3$$.
B. The reducing ability of the hydride increases in the order $$\mathrm{NH}_3<\mathrm{PH}_3<\mathrm{AsH}_3 <\mathrm{SbH}_3<\mathrm{BiH}_3$$.
C. Among the hydrides, $$\mathrm{NH}_3$$ is strong reducing agent while $$\mathrm{BiH}_3$$ is mild reducing agent.
D. The basicity of the hydrides increases in the order $$\mathrm{NH}_3<\mathrm{PH}_3<\mathrm{AsH}_3< \mathrm{SbH}_3<\mathrm{BiH}_3$$.
